Ingredients

  • 5 whole wheat lasagna noodles
  • 3 cups arugula (about 3 oz)
  • 1/3 cup almonds
  • 4 garlic cloves (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 TBS olive oil
  • 1 1/2 TBS lemon juice
  • 2/3 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shaved Parmesan
  • 1 cup marinara sauce, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook for 7 minutes. Use tongs to remove and lay them on a cutting board or baking sheet so that they are not touching.
  3. Meanwhile, combine arugula, almonds, and garlic in a food processor. Process until finely chopped. Add salt, olive oil and lemon juice. Pulse until the mixture comes together and starts to look creamy and well combined.
  4. Spread about 2 TBS ricotta cheese over each lasagna noodle, leaving 1/2 inch at the bottom uncovered.
  5. Sprinkle the lasagna noodles with shaved Parmesan, and top with the arugula pesto, gently spreading the pesto out to the edges.
  6. In a 9×9 baking sheet, spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce across the bottom.
  7. Roll up each lasagna noodle starting with the filled end, and ending with the 1/2 inch bare end.
  8. Place each roll-up seam side down in the marinara sauce in the baking dish.
  9. Spoon remaining marinara sauce over the roll-ups. Sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
